This is what happens when women vote. #RepealThe19th

SSssssssssoooo... Why group blacks with animals? What about black women's' rights?

Since women were born with different genitalia & brains, they are supposed to play different roles in society. The prohibition and possibly even the Great Depression prove that women aren’t responsible enough to vote.

I’ve never heard of animal suffrage, nor am I a believer in it, but there can’t possibly be a justification for discriminating by species that’s any different from ways humans have discriminated in the past. Saying they are not physically capable of behaving like humans is akin to ableism. Saying they have different genes or that they’re meant to be farmed is akin to racism. The only criterium that should determine whether a being is worth discriminating against is whether said being is able to feel the pain of discrimination.

SSssssssssoooo... Your not going to respond about grouping blacks with animals, and your ablest argument can not only be applied to plants, but to animals that need to eat other animals to survive.

But we don’t need to eat animals to survive. It’s actually very unhealthy for us. For the most part, eating animals is a first-world luxury, as subsidies are required to pay for crops to be grown for the animals. We need to eat plants to survive, and there’s a greater chance that they don’t feel pain. And again, we have to use more plants to sustain animal ag.

The ability to eat meat allowed us to spread around the world as we didn't need to evolve to eat the plants in each area we immigrated to. Also it can be quite difficult to get proper nutrition on a vegetable diet, especially when you are poor or have long winters where you live. Many people do not need the amount of protein that many get, but it helps many.

Also it is possible for individuals to raise animals that do not compete for human sources of food or even hunt for meat.

“The ability to eat meat allowed us to spread around the world as we didn't need to evolve to eat the plants in each area we immigrated to.”

It makes no sense that humans could evolve that quickly to adapt to a colder environment. The Inuit mummies Found in Greenland had osteoporosis, and archaeologists have proven that the Inuit diet is even worse than the standard American diet. But even the civilizations dwelling in the coldest parts of the world were able to eat seaweed, berries, wheat, potatoes, and even moss.

“Also, it can be quite difficult to get proper nutrition on a vegetable diet, especially when you are poor or have long winters where you live.”

Not at all. Plants have all of the nutrients we need, plant food is cheaper than flesh is, and we already have supermarkets. And remember that the low meat prices are actually a result of subsidization.

“Also, it is possible for individuals to raise animals that do not compete for human sources of food or even hunt for meat.”

I know that only cattles eat grass, but the pastures would be able to feed so many more folks if plants were grown there for human consumption. Hunting is not nearly as bad as is factory farming, but humans are not natural predators in any ecosystem. All invasive species (including humans) resulted from human activities, not from a lack thereof.

So you do not understand evolution, nutrition, the ecosystem, nor the economic impact of growing too many crops.

Complex enzymes to disgust new foods are harder to develop than an extra layer of fat.

Malnutrition is quite a possibility on a vegetarian diet so you must plan you meals more carefully.

Growing too many crops will cause a price crash and drive farmers out of business. That is one reason farmers get paid not to grow crops. And you cannot grow crops everywhere, raising goats on land that is not suitable from planting is common enough.

Hunting can be done in limited measure without harming the environment and is even encouraged in some areas to deal with animal overpopulation cause humans tend to kill of predators like wolves, bears, and mountain lions.

SMH! What do you think animals need to eat?! It’s best to just leave the ecosystem alone if some animals are endangered. Animal agriculture is actually by far the largest cause of species extinction!

But you also want to use that land for people, therefore your goalpost is moving. Also just because something can be done the wrong way, doesn't mean there is a better way to do it.

My point was that more crops need to be fed to farm animals than what humans need. There are people around the world who are starving because too many crops are fed to farm animals. When did I push the goalpost?

Using the same land for different things that led to the same result, but you're only against one when it suits you and you dropped it as soon as the issue changes back you the one that you want to be right pretending you didn't say it.

And you still do not understand the economic impact of too many crops. Farmers go broke, and food production drops back down. You have offered no solution that would help staving people, but argued against such for environmental reasons that also apply to what you want.

I already told you that more crops needn’t to be grown to feed the farm animals! This starves people because the sheer amount of crops fed to he farm animals could’ve been fed to humans much more efficiently!

LOL, I already told you that would led to a price crash, thus putting farmers out of business and then not feeding more people over the long run. But you keep moving goal posts rather than addressing that.

All is the farmland can be destroyed or used for biofuels. If it gets destroyed, there can be more economic activity, like mining. Animal agriculture may have actually ended the gold rush!
